Spirit Mars Exploration Rover on the flank of Husband Hill


April 13, 2005 - This synthetic image of the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover on the flank of Husband Hill was produced using Virtual Presence in Space technology. This technology combines visualization and image-processing tools with Hollywood-style special effects. The image was created using a photorealistic model of the rover and a false-color mosaic. The size of the rover in the image is approximately correct and was based on the size of the rover tracks in the mosaic. The mosaic was assembled from frames taken by the panoramic camera on the rover's 454th Martian day, or sol.
